Agile is not just another spiral bound notebook. This is not a different set of documents to fill in. Mapping our existing understanding to our new understanding often works for us. It won’t work for us now.

Working towards being Agile is fundamentally different from traditional ways of working. To do it, you have to change.

We will explore some of those areas where Agile differs dramatically. For example:

Agile is not a methodology.

An individual may be less effective when we switch to an Agile approach.
